English: Damaged Dahlgren gun from CSS Virginia (ex-USS Merrimack)
Photographed at the Washington Navy Yard, D.C., 27 April 1933. Several other guns, relics of the Civil War and earlier conflicts, are beyond. The gun is inscribed: "One of the Guns of the MERRIMAC in the action with the U.S. Frigates CUMBERLAND and CONGRESS March 8th 1862 when the chase was shot off". The lower inscription reads: "The mutilation of Trunnions &c shows the ineffectual attempts to destroy the Gun, when the U.S. abandoned the Norfolk Navy Yard, April 20th 1861". This gun, presumably one of Virginia's six IX-inch Dahlgren smoothbore guns, was on exhibit at Dahlgren, Virginia, in 1973. The Parrott gun (second from right in the row behind) is inscribed "Tug Teaser"
